‘Hesitancy still quite low in Australia’ despite AstraZeneca concerns

Health Department Secretary Professor Brendan Murphy has said despite concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine, “hesitancy is still quite low in Australia”.

This comes as the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) reviewed its effects on those aged under 60.

“We know that over 70% of people are intending to get vaccinated,” he said.

“Of course there are impacts on hesitancy. This may have some impact, but the publication by the TGA and our transparent way of the new data could have impact on hesitancy as well.

“We believe that the community is more likely to do as we recommend if we are absolutely transparent and follow the medical advice at all times.”
